She Said

She Said By Spidey Williams She gave me a kiss followed by a long hug With the words “Never will I betray your love” I’m here with you to the very end As your grandmother and mother’s best-friend I know you are scared to trust But I understand you’re not much different then us The longer we live the more we learn The more we embrace love the more we get burned The more we refrain from love the more we cry The more we ignore love the more we lie Life is what we make it I was always taught So what life have we made for each other and how much did it cost Were we over charged or did we fail to bargain for what we bought Did we buy at first glance? Or knowingly did we take that chance Thinking we could sell it back at a higher price Not realizing few people would actually want our life Yet we live life like there’s no tomorrow Then justify all of our sorrows Then we act surprise when tomorrow comes and goes When seasons changes and we finally reap what we have sewed Realizing today is the aftermath of yesterday and tomorrow is the direct result of today Yet when do we now have time to pray Or should I say When will we take time to say okay? I am only me But I can be more than me If only I accept the now for now and worry later later Than maybe life wouldn’t seem that bad now later I went to interrupt her and to voice my concerns When she placed one finger on my mouth then She said, You said the longer we live the more we learn The more you refrain from loving the more pain burns The more we embrace love the more we cry The more we ignore love the more we lie Life is what it appears to be Even in the time of misery Life isn’t really mystery It is a puzzle with all the necessary pieces of life You have everything you need you just have to fit them right She said!
